We're
in December and what a great way to start the month than with a lot of
great Holiday and Christmas tunes on the show. And with the Christmas
Village all decorated at the website, it's beginning to feel a lot like
Christmas. Last night in the Chat Room we were talking about how some
places got 5 inches of snow, or as Rick in Madison, Wisconsin calls it,
the "white menace" LOL. We were also saying how it rarely ever snows in
Vancouver, where the show is based. Think we spoke too soon, as when I
got up Monday morning, it was snowing and it kept up on and off all day.
Think we got maybe 2 or 3 inches, but for Vancouver that was a major
storm LOL So all in all, the Christmas music was perfect to play on this
week's show.

Next
week on the show it will be all Christmas music throughout the four
hours, leading up to the 20th Annual Christmas Special, Live Sunday,
December 18th. I look forward to your company over the next two weeks.
And please remember that while we don't yet have Archived shows
available, the Christmas Special will be available throughout the
holidays to listen on demand.

Is
your birthday coming up soon? I'd really like to help you celebrate by
wishing you Happy Birthday on the show and also play Birthday by The
Beatles for you. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.

The
final Voice Your Choice for 2016 next week spotlights the King of Rock
and Roll with two of his great Christmas songs for your votes. Go to the
Voice Your Choice page and cast your vote for either Here Comes Santa
Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) or White Christmas. I'll play the
winner next Sunday.

The King of Rock And Roll is front and centre this week on Treasure Island Oldies, as Elvis Presley is the artist in the spotlight on Voice Your Choice.

Elvis was born Elvis Aron Presley
on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. During his lifetime, which
was sadly cut short when he died in Memphis, Tennessee on August 16,
1977, he appeared on the charts an unbelievable 153 times! Not only
that, but he had 41 Top Ten hits between 1956 and 2002, including 24
Gold plus 21 Platinum Records. Here's an understatement: What an astonishing, astounding and
outstanding achievement!

This week on the Treasure Island Oldies Top Five Countdown, we spotlighted the year 1957.Here's one of the greatest singers of all time, Sam Cooke with the Number One song, You Send Me.It's our Song of the Week.Enjoy!Michael

About Me

I love good music - period, but I have a passion for the music of
the '50, '60s and '70s. I started Treasure Island Oldies for two
reasons: I had to get back on the air; I missed radio so much. I also
got tired of hearing "good times and 'eight' oldies", and knew with all
my previous radio programming experience, I could offer a weekly oldies
show that would feature familiar songs but also a lot of "instant
memories", songs you have not heard since they were first played on the
radio for a short time, then disappeared, seemingly forever. I knew
having someone hear a song they have not heard for literally 30 or 40
years, would touch a nerve. Perhaps the memory of a special occasion,
or maybe just another day, that particular song really caught their ear
back then. And every time I play one of those what I call Lost
Treasures, I get immediate individual feedback from the chat room,
email and my blogs. So I play a lot of music heard hardly anywhere
else. Join me live Sundays 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, and also, the weekly
show archives at www.TreasureIslandOldies.com Let the memories flow!
